Chapter 333 My big sword is so hungry

The river Li Dian pointed to was the main stream that flowed into Shaobi, which was the north-south Milky Way, and originated from the Milky Mountain in the northern part of Wan County.

Xiahou Dun was confused and asked curiously: "This river is called Shui, what's wrong?"

"The water of the river connects Lu'an, Yuxian and Longshu, and further south are Juchao and Wanxian. If this fleet goes up along the water of the river, it must be the army of Lujiang."

Li Dian looked particularly confident when he stroked his hand.

"Yes." Xiahou Dun nodded to confirm, and added: "No wonder this time they used fishing boats to lure the enemy. Sun Quan's son probably didn't give Lujiang warships."

Qin Yi looked at the two of them and asked his own question: "What do the two generals mean? The hundreds of fishing boats entering Shaobi should not return to Feishui and then turn around to apply water? But in this way, what does the main force of the thief army in southeast Shouchun say? Could it be the soldiers from Hefei?"

"It shouldn't be." Xiahou Dun first concluded, then shook his head and analyzed: "I have no grudges and no grudges with Long Xiang. He wouldn't have come to destroy my rice fields in the rain. Moreover, there are more than 10,000 troops in Hefei. Is Long Xiang not afraid that Sun Quan will take advantage of the situation?"

Qin Yi frowned and asked: "It's been a day or two since Hefei and Jiangdong secretly communicated with each other. Long Xiang was still afraid that Sun Quan would take advantage of the situation?"

"Sun Quan's child is so despicable. Long Xiang is a smart person who will not believe it. Sometimes it is fatal to betray his allies. I think of the eighteen princes who fought against Dong, which episode did not have selfishness?" Xiahou Dun's expression suddenly became solemn, and then he reminded Qin Yi with words: "Think about Mancheng's analysis. Even if Long Xiang sneaked into the rice fields in Shouchun, where were the hundreds of fishing boats transferred from? Aren't they going back?"

"Ah this."

Seeing that Qin Yi was speechless, Xiahou Dun turned around and asked Li Dian: "Mancheng, there was a question worth pondering just now, namely the movements of tens of thousands of rats in the southeast of Shouchun. Their marching direction was very suspicious. If they did not take a boat to return to Jiangdong or Lujiang, would they go to Hefei to join Longxiong?"

Li Dian replied calmly: "Speaking east and attacking west is a common trick for Jiangdong people. As General Xiahou said just now, although Jiangdong is secretly connected with each other, he must be guarding against each other. That army will not borrow from Hefei. If what I expected today, they will definitely find a place to turn west, and then cross the west to the Feishui River and then return south to Lujiang."

"It makes sense." Xiahou Dun echoed softly, and his suspicion still did not fade: "It's just that the area west of Feishui is wide, and I don't know which road these rats will take to return to Lujiang."

Li Dian pointed to the map and analyzed: "It is no problem to sail on the first line of Shishui, but the road is rugged and not suitable for marching. The plains to the east are easier to walk on. If you want to say the nearest route south of Shaopi, it must be the road from Zipeng Mountain to Shuxian in the south."

Xiahou Dun lowered his head and asked, "Are you sure you are so sure?"

"If it was really a soldier from Lujiang, the last one would be 70% sure." Li Dian did not dare to say enough, leaving himself room for maneuver.

"It's 70% less." Xiahou Dun nodded solemnly, turned around and ordered Qin Yi: "You ask the scouts to keep an eye on those rats. Let's set off now, and set up an ambush in front of the thief army to directly cut off their way back. Humph, Sun Quan's son repeatedly ruined my rice and let them fill their lives for the food."

"Vei." Qin Yi took the order and turned around and left.

Li Dian could not stop Xiahou Dun from chasing the enemy and could only provide tactical support.

Seeing that Xiahou Dun was about to set off, Li Dian couldn't help but continue to remind: "General, there is no absolute thing to defeat. If the thief army does not follow this path, remember not to pursue it deeply."

"Don't worry, I will definitely win and return." Xiahou Dun was full of confidence.

Because he planned to march urgently, in order to reduce the burden on the soldiers, Xiahou Dun ordered to take food for only three days to travel, preparing to eliminate Chen Lan and eat the other party's military rations.

It was already afternoon when we left Shouchun. Xiahou Dun led his infantry and cavalry to the south along Shaopi. It was already dark halfway through the lake.

Eight thousand soldiers were lightly equipped and did not carry any supplies except light armor. Xiahou Dun ordered to sleep in the lake.

At night, the wind blew on the lake, making eight thousand soldiers like homeless wild dogs. It started drizzling in the second half of the night, and the soldiers could only gather together to keep warm. Many people thought of their families at that time.

The body and spirit were tortured. Fortunately, Xiahou Dun was strict in the army and had a way of injecting chicken blood. He also received news that Chen Lanxi had crossed the Feishui River at night, so his soldiers could still ensure morale.

Chen Lan crossed the river ten miles south of Xiahou Dun, but because it was raining that night, it was inconvenient to pursue it, Cao's army was left behind the next day.

Seeing the prey right in front of him, Xiahou Dun did not allow the cooked duck to fly, so he urged the soldiers to chase him the next morning. Unfortunately, it rained for a few hours that day, and it was impossible to distance the march on the muddy road. Moreover, Chen Lan in front seemed to be alert, so after chasing her for a day, there was still a ten-mile gap.

The next night was clear, and the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind. You could see the moon and stars when you looked up, indicating that tomorrow would be a clear day.

Xiahou Dun looked at the night sky and thought to himself that God seemed to be helping me, and he was sure that he would catch up on the third day.

Before dawn on the third day, Xiahou Dun gathered his army and advanced in the dark. The soldiers walked and ate dry food, gradually shortening the distance with Chen Lan.

By the morning, Xiahou Dun could already see the enemy in front of him. The scattered formation showed that the military discipline was not strict.

Humph, that's it? I'm sure to win.

Xiahou Dun shouted excitedly: "My sons, let me yell and shout, making the rats ahead frightened. We will try our best to catch up with each other, and we will make contributions to killing the generals and killing the enemy."

"only."

As the generals and officers around him responded, the eight thousand Cao soldiers suddenly spoke out, and Chen Lan's troops who were "escape" in front seemed to be even more panicked.

Qin Yi pointed his gun in front of him and reminded him: "General, Zipeng Mountain is a few miles ahead. If the bandit army escapes into the mountains, it will probably be difficult to chase after him."

"What are you waiting for? Go forward at full speed and rush to the thief army to enter the mountain, and you must have bitten it."

As Xiahou Dun kept shouting and cheering, his men were running tirelessly in the wilderness as if they were injected with chicken blood, while the enemies ahead showed fatigue.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Zipeng Mountain, Chen Lan made a quick decision to leave two battalions of soldiers behind, and bought time for the remaining troops to escape into the mountains.

Xiahou Dun led the way forward and suddenly saw the enemy ahead stopping to line up the formation. He immediately suppressed the formation and slowly faced him.

When Cao's army moved forward, Qin Yi saw that the general in front of the enemy's formation looked familiar and felt that he had seen it somewhere.

After thinking for a moment, I suddenly remembered.

Qin Yi hurriedly reminded: "General, this is Chen Lan, the former general of Yuan Shu. He was originally entrenched in the northern part of Lujiang. He did not expect that he would destroy the rice fields. This person had been secretly engaging in music with Sun Quan for a long time, and he might have been acting under the order of Sun Quan."

"It's all the same, sooner or later, I'll be the one who's a knife."

After saying that, Xiahou Dun raised his sword and rushed forward, and looked Chen Lan up and down, but unexpectedly, the other party spoke up and insulted him.

"What are you looking at? You are wrong. You are blind, but aren't you just looking at him? You blind man chased Chen all the way, are you tired of living?"

"Chen Lan, right? You'll get your head down a little later, I hope your mouth is still so hard." Xiahou Dun raised his sword on the head of the horse and said coldly: "My big sword is already hungry and thirsty."
